While on the carpet for the Girls premiere in Janurary, Abbott talked to us about his character and how Dunham handled the change from the first season to the second season.

"Lena kind of set a tone to not change [the show] at all. We kind of went about it the same way we did the first season. Everyone was kind of just about the work," he says. "Lena sets the guidelines pretty straight, so she makes it kind of easy to go along with it. But she's very open about it; it's a very open table with her and everyone."

Abbott has played Marnie's (Allison Williams) on -gain, off-again boyfriend Charlie since season one. In the season-two finale, they even had a dramatic reunion, with Charlie telling her: "I love you: Maybe I'm an idiot for it, but I always have."
